JIM HENSON'S TURKEY HOLLOW
November 21, 2015  | By David Bianculli

Lifetime, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
Almost 50 years ago, Muppets creator Jim Henson and collaborator Jerry Juhl made notes and an outline for a new Thanksgiving project they were concocting, about a bunch of new whimsical creatures hidden away with an eccentric aunt in a remote cabin. Those notes stayed buried in a box since the Sixties, until recently, when Henson’s daughter Lisa found them, and decided to resurrect them as a new special. Mary Steenburgen stars – and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges acts as a tongue-in-cheek presenting host, acting a bit like like Fred Rogers, right down to the familiar Mister Rogers cardigan.
